Description

For fans of Harriet Evans, Lucinda Riley and Rowan Coleman; a sweeping family drama about secrets, sacrifice and love, spanning from the 1950s to present day.

All families have secrets.

89-year-old Jeannette never meant to keep the truth from her family. But when a near fatal fall sends her to live with her granddaughter Amy, she finds herself revisiting a past that's been hidden for too many years.

Amy, however, has always been good at keeping secrets. When ex-partner Nick shows up, she's forced to admit that some things just can't stay hidden forever.

Judith is starting from scratch - again. The master of reinvention, Amy's mother has been seeking happiness in all the wrong places. This time though, she might just find it a lot closer to home than she ever believed she would...

As Jeannette's 90th birthday party approaches, all three women discover they have more in common than they first thought, and the secrets from the past may be the key to unlocking the future.

Three women. Three generations. One legacy they all share...

This family saga was well written and interesting.

Jeanette, her daughter Judith and Granddaughter Amy find out lots about each other as the story progresses. I liked the way that the author skilfully moved the narrative backwards and forwards in time.

This is not a complicated book, it’s a pleasing easy read and I’m sure it will do well.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy of this book.
